repairing damaged chrome
Has anyone had experience repairing chrome scratches, pits, rust damage
with a method other than rechroming the part? I discovered this cheap electro plating tool which may be worth a try. http://www.caswellplating.com/kits/plugnplate.htm Anybody used this before? I'd like to hear your opinions/experiences. |

I have not, but was intriqued by a method described by Jan A in the following thread: http://groups.google.com/group/rec.a...571f d1485121 (basically do a google search for "tin foil chrome" and you'll find it, in case my link is bugus) Remco |
